DOULA TRAINING

About the workshop

This two-day workshop is the first step toward becoming a CAPPA Certified Labor Doula. We will explore the do's and don'ts, the how's and why's of providing support to laboring women and their partners, discuss what it is like to be IN labor and AT labor, delve into benefits and risks of inductions and routine interventions and learn the ins and outs of running a successful doula practice. We will learn a lot, we will laugh a lot and we will make connections with fellow doulas who will become a support system for you as you begin your work as a professional doula.

About CAPPA certification

Are you drawn to the idea of supporting families on their journey to parenthood? Do you wish to join an organization that will train you to provide the best of professional support to your future clients and support you as you build your business? The decision about which organization to choose for your certification is an important one. I came to CAPPA with several years of doula work under my belt and a deep commitment to the highest standards of service and integrity. CAPPA continues to impress me on both fronts, again and again. Check out CAPPA's certification process.

About the trainer

It is the most sacred of honors to be invited into the lives of a family as they plan their births and have their baby. The responsibility for training the next generation of doulas who will be given that sacred honor is awesome, astounding, and exciting beyond words! I am delighted to present to you the comprehensive CAPPA training curriculum and to enhance my workshops with my years of experience as a doula in hospitals, homes and birth centers (and once in a grocery store parking lot) and years of training expectant couples in the childbirth classes I designed.
